World Bank Income Classification:Low IncomeThe World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations.Least Developed Country:YesSince 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability.Gender Inequality Index:0.575GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa.Gender Development Index:0.723GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Strategic Note Outcome Progress NoteShowing data of :
2022
More commitments on Women, Peace and Security are implemented by national and local institutions and more gender equality advocates influence recovery, justice, security and humanitarian processes
The outcome was not fully achieved but important progress towards the outcome was made in 2022. In the context of the full-fledged war and consequent large-scale humanitarian crisis, this outcome was expanded to include a focus on not only implementing national Women Pease and Security (WPS) commitments but also responding to the emerging humanitarian needs of women and girls. Gender equality advocates’ influence on recovery, justice, security and humanitarian processes remained paramount. Important progress towards the outcome was made in 2022:
More than 37,400 war-affected women and girls had access to humanitarian support.
This included receiving basic necessities such as food and hygiene products, psychological support, legal aid, livelihood support and referrals to other services. The support was especially directed at women and girls from vulnerable and marginalized groups such as rural women, Roma women, women with disabilities, internally displaced women and women with HIV. (Read more under narrative questions 1 and 8.) UN Women contributed to this important result by partnering with over 20 local women’s organizations, providing them with the resources necessary for a rapid, localized humanitarian response and facilitating the necessary capacity development needed to adjust to the rapidly changing context. This was largely made possible through the partnership with the Women, Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF).
One concrete example of important work done towards this result includes the 1,099 women who benefited from access to psychological, humanitarian and social support services, as well as information on available essential services, through UN Women’s pilot initiative ‘Safe Spaces’ (multipurpose centres for women) in partnership with two local women’s CSOs. Four physical safe spaces for women in two regions of Ukraine have provided multidimensional forms of support to women and girls affected by the full-scale war and who are at severe risk of GBV.
Women and girls (especially from vulnerable groups) and their primary needs and priorities are covered by key WPS and humanitarian action plans.
At the national level, this included the revised National Action Plan on UNSCR 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (NAP 1325), Framework of Cooperation Agreement on CRSV , UN Flash Appeal and UN Transitional Framework . (Read more under the WPS impact statement.) UN Women contributed to these results by providing technical input to the documents through international and national experts on WPS and gender in humanitarian action. UN Women also facilitated consultations with the authorities and women’s CSOs to provide direct recommendations to the plans and generated relevant research (such as the Rapid Gender Analysis of Ukraine and the Rapid Assessment of Women’s CSOs ) to help inform the formulation of regional and local priorities, activities and new target groups based on the latest evidence.
At the local and regional levels, several authorities started developing or revising their localized action plans (LAPs) and initiatives in line with the NAP 1325. Despite the daily hardships and workload that local authorities face due to the war and permanent security threats, Nyzhnyo-Teplivska community (Luhansk region) and Lebedyn community (Sumy region) approved their LAPs until 2025, and Romny community (Sumy region) updated their local programme on social protection to include WPS provisions. Five local communities formed working groups on the development and implementation of LAPs, and Zaporizhzhia regional administration formed a working group on revising their regional action plan on UNSCR 1325. These are important steps towards localizing the WPS agenda and ensuring that the needs and priorities of local women are included in local initiatives through crisis response and early recovery. UN Women contributed to these results by providing technical input in drafting documents and support in setting up working groups, as well as conducting a series of trainings on the localization of the NAP 1325 and development of LAPs for 45 representatives of local authorities from Zaporizhzhia, Chernihiv, Kirovograd and Sumy.
Women and their organizations have strengthened capacity and opportunity to meaningfully participate in conflict prevention, resolution and recovery.
In 2022, important steps were taken to strengthen women’s meaningful participation at all levels in Ukraine as they relate to conflict prevention, resolution and recovery. A significant number of dialogues, consultations and advocacy events with women’s civil society took place in 2022, where women had the opportunity to advocate for their needs and priorities as well as influence key processes related to the WPS agenda and humanitarian action. (Read more under narrative question 10 and indicator 0.1.5.) UN Women collaborated closely with over 100 civil society partners all across Ukraine and relevant duty bearers from the Government, UN agencies, the private sector and other humanitarian/development partners to facilitate these events and ensure that the voices and experiences of women are heard.
Thirteen women from CSOs across Ukraine and seven women from the Ukrainian Government and Parliament strengthened their knowledge and skills on negotiation and mediation. This is particularly important in the context of the crisis to ensure that women’s priorities and needs are included in conflict resolution and peacebuilding efforts and that their voices are heard. UN Women in partnership with Clingendael facilitated the trainings, and pre- and post-assessments confirmed the participants’ enhanced knowledge, skills and attitudes to be able to put what they learned into practice.
Over 420 women from war-affected regions (Zaporizhzhia, Chernihiv, Sumy and Kirovohrad) were mobilized into women’s community groups and improved their knowledge and skills on human rights, gender equality and the WPS agenda. Many community groups collectively started working to address the urgent needs of women and girls in their communities. By the end of 2022, 16 women from the community groups had already become members of local working groups on LAPs in partnership with the authorities and were seen as active leaders for their communities. UN Women, in partnership with the Ukrainian Women’s Fund, has led the mobilization, training and ongoing support to the local women’s groups and will continue ensuring that local women are empowered and capacitated to meaningfully participate in local WPS and humanitarian processes.
In 2022, the need for the WPS agenda and rapid humanitarian support was essential to ensure that the rights and opportunities of women and girls are protected. The progress made alongside key partners from the Government at all levels, women’s CSOs and other development/humanitarian partners includes important steps that contribute to the overall impact goal.
The theory of change (ToC) is mostly not valid due to changes in the context, programmes and operations of the Country Office because of the ongoing humanitarian crisis and war in Ukraine. As part of the new Strategic Note to be developed in 2023, a new ToC will be developed to better reflect the rapidly changing context. The new ToC will need to fully capture changes related to the humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) nexus and to conflict prevention, resolution and recovery.
